Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of Burmese national hero General Aung San, has been under house arrest for nearly fourteen of the last twenty years for her work of restoring democracy. Her philosophy is based on her Buddhist faith and influenced by Mahatma Gandhi. She was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts on behalf of human rights in her country.

Aung San Suu Kyi quote ~
• “It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”

Jake Swamp
b. 1942
d. 2010

Jake Swamp, a chief of the Mohawk, is planting trees throughout the world with a message of harmony to all nations. As founder of the Tree of Peace Society, he continues a tradition which began centuries ago.

When endless wars and blood feuds had brought five nations to anarchy and despair, a man called the Peacemaker persuaded them to make a 'Great Peace' by forming a confederacy among themselves, based on a 'Great Binding Law'.

With all of the 50 chiefs of the first grand council assembled, the Peacemaker planted the original tree of peace, beneath which they buried their weapons of war. All nations were invited to take shelter beneath the tree.

• Jake Swamp planting tree in Kansas City, World Peace Celebration, 1988.
